Arc'teryx Grifter Shorts - Cotton Oxford (For Women)

These shorts are built to last. They have thick material that seems like they would last for ever. The down side is, for me anyway, I have runner/weight lifter legs. I ordered a size 8 and they fit in the waist and hips well, but the legs were not very loose. When I stretched out to walk or jog, they were really tight on the legs. Bottom line: the legs are made for small legs.

I am a bit curvy, and have been constantly searching for shorts that don't squeeze my thighs, no luck here. I'm keeping them, because they are close, but when I sit down it is a bit tight, but great in the waist and length.

I bought these for myself - ordered a size 10 - but they run small. They do fit my daughter, a size 8, and she liked the coffee color and all the pockets so we're keeping them. They are very cute on her and I'm sure she'll get a lot of use out of them.

These are really great shorts, however they do seem to run just a bit on the small side. So you may want to order one size up.

These shorts are excellent quality and hold up to outdoor recreational activities, and look sharp while hard at play. I was a little concerned about the inseam length being too short at first, but they wear well and love them!

These shorts are great but waist runs small.

I got these as a substitute for shorts that were no longer available - and they are great. The shorts I originally wanted were longer in the leg, but the fit on these is so good that I don't really care that the leg is a little shorter than I originally wanted!

These shorts fit well, look good and are sturdily built and comfortable, like most Arcteryx products. I ordered my usual size and found them true. Waistband sits just above the hips (1-2" below bellybutton), and stays there without riding up. Slash pockets are roomy and interestingly designed. Inseam is a good length: short enough to be flattering, but long enough to prevent unintentional display of undergarments. They don't gap hugely around the leg, which makes them ideal for any activity in which you might be viewed from below (e.g. rock or mountain climbing). I've worn them for around-town bike commuting as well as casually, and because they gap less around the leg i have less unimpeded movement during pedaling, but it's not uncomfortable enough to be annoying and I expect this to be less of an issue as they break in. Color (what STP calls Dark Brown) has a hint of burgundy--a nice change from your run-of-the-mill neutrally colored multi-use shorts. Made for the active outdoorswoman who likes to look good while she beats up her gear.
